I have always thought Kate Winslet is a great actress, I love her personality, I particularly loved two of her characters, Rose in Titanic and Mariam in Sense and Sensibility.
She's a great actress no doubt. She executes her roles perfectly. Am I a fan? Yes, but not a die hard.
Kate Winslet's performance in Sense and Sensibility is top notch, with her being able to display a wide range of emotions. She did a darn good job with it. Currently we're waiting on the DVD for Branagh's Hamlet where Winslet plays Ophelia.
Speaking of Ophelia, I also liked Helena Boham Carter's performance, she was very young at the time but she gave a great performance.
